There is a very gen- eral complaint of the want of deference and the neglect 6f' small courtesies and at- tentions from the younger to the older persons in society this winter. It not only applies to the younger men, but is equally true of the girls, many of whom are en- Joying taeir first or second seasons. is probably no place where young people receive so much attention as they do here, { and especially is this true of men. There was an idea eight or ten years ago, and it suu lingers, that intellectual and conver- sational delights were worth something, and a good and_siMicient reason for bring- ing youngijand-id together. But if the number of everting entertainments given here the past.two winters, where dancing was not the feathre, is contrasted with the number given atjtlat period it will be seen that the dancing element has prevailed, and al} attentian. having been given to catering to’ the pk ures of the younger people, naturaily thei latter have grown too important, just, a bit selfish and arbi- trary, and a decadénce in good manners is tne result. - It is not that the young peo- ple are not taught these important lessons. They only forget them, as they do last | witter’s fashions. That the case is not overdrawn the experiences of two matrons, botn ef whom have been as gracious as princesses and quite as lavish in hospital- ity ior several years, are strong evidence. At all their dinners, balls and every pos- sible form of pleasure the younger set has been magniticently entertained. Eligible men, or at best all the available ones, have simply been lionized. Yet these two women, who have expended so much time, strength and taste in lavishing the best that money could purchase, found them- selves this wintes at the houses of friends, with not one of these men paying the slightest courtesy or attention to them. On these two women this treatment has had directly sontrary effects. One it has offended so deeply that it is quite possible she will never again open her house to young people for their pleasure, as she once delighted in doing: The other finds her experience only another lesson in worldly wisdom, and as long as there are young people in her household she will keep on entertaining their friends, whether or not they manage to recall her to mind long enough to bow on the street. At one of the large teas this season a lady was approacted by a debutante and offered some refreshment, and was so much surprised at receiving the courtesy that she could hardly belicve it. Speaking of it afterward, she remarked that going out as much as she did, and although it was only a few years since she left the ranks of the young girls, it was the second at- tention of this flattering description that had been testowed upon her during the en- Ure winter. Everybcedy is familiar with the story of that perfect hostess who, seeing the dis- comfiture of a guest who had accidentally broken a valuable cup, crushed another of the fragile but priceless trifies just to let her see hiw easy it was for such things to occur. Mrs. Westinghouse ts the heroine of such an ineident, which fs just now be- ing repeated in society. At the recent tea which she gave she presented many of her guests, as is her custom, with the flowers which had so lavishly adorned her home. One tady standing near when the hostess had offered a few roses to an acquaintance asked the privilege of taking one. Mrs. Westinghouse, although she scarcely knew her, told her to help herself. Reaching up to take some the lady dragged down a ‘ul ..ase,which fell to the fleor in atoms Her confusion was pitiful, but her hostess, wiping with an exquisitely dainty point lace handkerchief some drops of the water froni the lady's dress, tied the square of Ccburby lace round a great bunch of the envied roses and presented them, turn- ing the woman’s'tnisery into unalloyed joy. Mrs. J. Wesigy,Bovee of 1404 H street will be at home Mépdays during the season. Mrs. Henry Thomas, wife of Representa- tive Thomas of Michigan, will receive with Mrs. J.
